There are interesting similarities between the results of the current study and published data from leptin - deficient mice with genetic ablation of the atrophic
hormone myostatin (55, 56).
I think the secret to fasting and weight lifting is that fasting inhibits
the hormone myostatin.

His research team discovered one means to prevent the loss of skeletal muscle in diabetes is to reduce
myostatin, a natural secreted
hormone that represses muscle growth.
This possibility is not exclusive to
myostatin, because the cytokine interleukin - 6 (IL - 6) also plays a critical role in exercise - induced muscle hypertrophy, and the secreted
hormone irisin is released in response to exercise and promotes energy expenditure (57).
Creatine's ability to increase muscular hypertrophy is derived largely from the fact that it is able to trigger creation of new muscle cells, increase protein synthesis in the muscles and decrease the production of
myostatin which depletes muscle tissue, while at the same time increase the release of particular
hormones that promote muscle building like IGF - 1 (Insulin Growth - like Factor) and testosterone.
Some people simply have a much harder or easier time building muscle than others, and this is influenced by different factors such as muscle fiber distribution, testosterone levels, growth
hormone levels, bone structure, insulin sensitivity,
myostatin levels and individual recovery ability.
In addition, researchers at the American Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence found that blocking
myostatin raises the body's sensitivity to leptin, the satiety
hormone, which helps curb hunger more efficiently in terms of a reduced - calorie diet.
For bodybuilders, it's important to know how to control the secretion of
myostatin and
hormones like cortisol in order to maximize their muscle building potential.
The muscle - building and fat - burning effects of human growth
hormone are thought to be caused by GH's interference with
myostatin function [21], and the muscle destroying effects of cortisol appear to be associated with higher concentrations of
myostatin [22].
I think a large role may be the inhibition of
myostatin — a
hormone that breaks down muscle tissue.
This possibility is not exclusive to
myostatin, because the cytokine interleukin - 6 (IL - 6) also plays a critical role in exercise - induced muscle hypertrophy, and the secreted
hormone irisin is released in response to exercise and promotes energy expenditure (57).
